    Apps

    The GitHub Apps API enables you to get high-level information about a GitHub App as well as specific information about installations of the app. To learn more about GitHub Apps, see "Authenticating as a GitHub App."

    This page lists endpoints that you can access while authenticated as a GitHub App. See "Authenticating as a GitHub App" to learn more.

    When authenticated as a GitHub App, the GitHub Apps API enables you to get high-level information about a GitHub App as well as specific information about installations of an app.

    You can access REST API v3 endpoints while authenticated as a GitHub App. These endpoints have a "Notes" section that contains a bullet point that says "Works with GitHub Apps." You can also access these endpoints while authenticated as a user.

    A subset of REST API v3 endpoints requires authenticating as a GitHub App installation. See Installations for a list of these endpoints.

    Get the authenticated app

    Returns the GitHub App associated with the authentication credentials used. To see how many app installations are associated with this GitHub App, see the installations_count in the response. For more details about your app's installations, see the "List installations for the authenticated app" endpoint.

    You must use a JWT to access this endpoint.

    Create an installation access token for an app

    Creates an installation access token that enables a GitHub App to make authenticated API requests for the app's installation on an organization or individual account. Installation tokens expire one hour from the time you create them. Using an expired token produces a status code of 401 - Unauthorized, and requires creating a new installation token. By default the installation token has access to all repositories that the installation can access. To restrict the access to specific repositories, you can provide the repository_ids when creating the token. When you omit repository_ids, the response does not contain the repositories key.

    You must use a JWT to access this endpoint.

    Suspend an app installation

    Suspends a GitHub App on a user, organization, or business account, which blocks the app from accessing the account's resources. When a GitHub App is suspended, the app's access to the GitHub Enterprise Server API or webhook events is blocked for that account.

    OAuth Applications API

    You can use this API to manage the OAuth tokens an OAuth application uses to access people's accounts on your GitHub Enterprise Server instance.

    Delete an app authorization

    OAuth application owners can revoke a grant for their OAuth application and a specific user. You must use Basic Authentication when accessing this endpoint, using the OAuth application's client_id and client_secret as the username and password. You must also provide a valid OAuth access_token as an input parameter and the grant for the token's owner will be deleted. Deleting an OAuth application's grant will also delete all OAuth tokens associated with the application for the user. Once deleted, the application will have no access to the user's account and will no longer be listed on the application authorizations settings screen within GitHub.

    delete /applications/{client_id}/grant

    Parameters

    Name Type In Description
    accept string header

    Setting to application/vnd.github.v3+json is recommended.
    client_id string path

    The client ID of your GitHub app.
    access_token string body

    Required. The OAuth access token used to authenticate to the GitHub API.

    Revoke a grant for an application

    Deprecation Notice: GitHub Enterprise Server will discontinue OAuth endpoints that contain access_token in the path parameter. We have introduced new endpoints that allow you to securely manage tokens for OAuth Apps by moving access_token to the request body. For more information, see the blog post.

    OAuth application owners can revoke a grant for their OAuth application and a specific user. You must use Basic Authentication when accessing this endpoint, using the OAuth application's client_id and client_secret as the username and password. You must also provide a valid token as :access_token and the grant for the token's owner will be deleted.

    Deleting an OAuth application's grant will also delete all OAuth tokens associated with the application for the user. Once deleted, the application will have no access to the user's account and will no longer be listed on the Applications settings page under "Authorized OAuth Apps" on GitHub Enterprise Server.

    delete /applications/{client_id}/grants/{access_token}

    Parameters

    Name Type In Description
    accept string header

    Setting to application/vnd.github.v3+json is recommended.
    client_id string path

    The client ID of your GitHub app.
    access_token string path

    await octokit.request('DELETE /applications/{client_id}/grants/{access_token}', {
  client_id: 'client_id',

})

    Response

    Status: 204 No Content

    Check a token

    OAuth applications can use a special API method for checking OAuth token validity without exceeding the normal rate limits for failed login attempts. Authentication works differently with this particular endpoint. You must use Basic Authentication to use this endpoint, where the username is the OAuth application client_id and the password is its client_secret. Invalid tokens will return 404 NOT FOUND.

    post /applications/{client_id}/token

    Parameters

    Name Type In Description
    accept string header

    Setting to application/vnd.github.v3+json is recommended.
    client_id string path

    The client ID of your GitHub app.
    access_token string body

    Required. The access_token of the OAuth application.
